How Many WorkFlowy Bullets Do I Have?

UPDATE: WorkFlowy remembers the expand/collapse state of your last view for each bullet, and that’s a nice thing. This post has been updated with a new method that will not alter these expand/collapse states.

I recommend you read all the instructions before clicking the search link in Step #1.

This will enter last-changed:10000d in WorkFlowy’s home page search box, finding every bullet you’ve edited or created in the last 10,000 days. That should cover things. Have some patience, it may take a few seconds to render your last 27 years of work.

2) Type Ctrl+A twice to select all bullets (use Cmd for Mac).

3) Look at the right pop up menu to revel in your bullet proclivity.

4) Press Esc to clear the search.

* The last-changed: search operator automatically toggles to Completed:Visible. If you want to count only incomplete bullets, click the toolbar to toggle back to Completed:Hidden and repeat Step #2.

Mine was 7621. I wonder what the average is. While you are there, any thoughts about how to include links to folder using Workflowy on a Windows system? I’ve tried file:///[C;folder], but that opens in Chrome rather than Windows.

I think the best way in Windows without any utilities is to copy the path to the clipboard. (They can be the browser capable “file:///” variety or the standard file explorer “C:\Users” format.) Launch Run via Win+R. Paste and press enter to launch your file or folder. You can automate that process further using AutoHotKey or Phrase Express.

This got me to thinking about I have to do same math to get *my* bullet count, because I am very promiscuous in my sharing, as it were. So I’m counting *other* people’s bullets too.

I think I’m going to drop a feature request over at the main WorkFlowy site and ask for an option to similar to “Completed:Visible” but for shared pages e.g. “Shared:Hidden/Visible”.

If I read the CSS right on one of my Stylish, I think I could accomplish it with a .style, but that means toggling the extension just for a count whereas the approach like Completed is straightforward and faster.
